I'm evangelizing for Mastodon because Twitter is likely toast, but I also want to be very clear that Black and disabled folks have built community infrastructure on Twitter that is real and meaningful.

We all need to be mindful of what Elon is destroying, and who it harms most.

You can only sell off the family silver once.

The temporary windfall from selling public assets comes at the expense of a community permanently losing parks, housing, libraries, sports facilities and much more.

Future generations deserve better.

If it reads like I’m advocating for violence against a specific billionaire, please understand I’m not. I want violence to happen to all of them

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

Just like to point out that it was -7 this morning and ts a week and a bit before Christmas.

Does any one really think that people would to take time unpaid to stand around outside freezing their butts off if there was another option?

What would have happened at your work for you to take a day off to stand in front of it protesting? How much would you have to love your job to do that rather than changing careers?

I used to have this pinned on my (defunct) twitter account, so will repeat it here:

Don't think about climate change as something we succeed or fail at. It's not binary. Every tonne of carbon emissions makes the problem worse, so everything we do to avoid those emissions helps. Never stop trying!

Fediverse, let's have some fun:

What is the most trivial life lesson you would like to impart to your younger self?

It's #chilly out. Buxton Weather Watch (one of the only reasons I keep dipping back into the birdsite) say we might have #snow next week. Will I get views like this? Unlikely but I can dream 😉❄

It's beautiful watching the firehose of the #federated feed just constantly scrolling past, seeing the images, the languages, the mix of everything.
As I'm watching it:
Meme, anime, ukraine, snow, garden, painting, poll, christmas tree, red door, pride & prejudice, canyon in Iraq, tarot, food, Die Hard (it's an xmas movie, shush), cats, cats, toys, cats, fountain, lab.

The languages too, english, japanese, korean, german, polish, french, so many.

It's beautiful.

Imagine being the person who says to Rishi Sunak:

"I think we can spin this and get people to back you, not the nurses."

With a straight face.
